If you're running flavor and extract production for the bakery, beverage, dairy, confectionery and snack industries out of a Greensboro plant that's operated since 1946, your packaging output has to stay in step with that many downstream customers without adding a shift. An 88,000-square-foot USDA-certified meat, seafood and cheese processing facility runs alongside flavor and ingredient houses and a food-safety and sanitation company that serves quick-service and retail food customers nationwide from its Greensboro headquarters, the kind of range North Carolina's food and ingredient manufacturers rely on. Packaging equipment in a plant like that has to handle very different product formats, from liquid extracts destined for stick packs and sachets to case-ready meat and cheese product moving out the door on pallets. The line can't stop for a changeover.
That range is exactly why Greensboro producers turn to PLAN IT. We handle the powdered and granular ingredient runs with Mars Series vertical form fill seal (VFFS) baggers and EliteFill auger fillers, while stick pack and sachet machines cover small-format liquid extracts without the waste from oversized fill heads. On the meat, seafood and cheese side, automatic case packers keep a USDA-certified plant moving product to pallet without manual bottlenecks, and checkweighers catch fill variance before it turns into a compliance problem. A barbecue, chili and kettle-product maker operating in Greensboro since 1955 represents the kind of long-running regional producer PLAN IT serves well, with established recipes, growing distribution, and a packaging line that needs to modernize without a full plant rebuild. Greensboro's flavor houses have run extracts since 1946; we build the lines that bag and case them at pace. A flavor concentrate, a block of cheese, and a jar of barbecue sauce all move through different packaging lines, and PLAN IT's equipment and consultative integration are built for food and beverage manufacturers scaling past what manual or semi-automatic lines can handle, backed by our full range of packaging solutions.
